Yes, it's a good point about the film indicating a full stopping of the motorcade.
Robert Jackson did tell his story about seeing the rifle from the very beginning:11/22/1963 Dallas Times Herald article (published that afternoon): He "heard one shot and then two more rapid shots...Jackson saw two men peering from the building window on the fifth floor. They were looking directly above their heads. Jackson saw a rifle being drawn back into a sixth-floor window. It disappeared quickly and he saw no more. The stock appeared to be dark brown, Jackson said."
11/23/1963 Jackson wrote in the Times-Herald: "As I looked up to the window above, I saw a rifle being pulled back in the window. It might have been resting on the window sill. I didn't see a man. I didn't even see if it had a scope on it...He had about a 45-degree angle from the building to the president's car."
Malcolm Counch (FBI REPORT : November 27, 1963):
He heard two loud noises about ten seconds apart which sounded like a motorcycle backfire. He said as they turned the corner onto Elm from Houston, he heard another noise, and Robert Jackson yelled to look up at the window. He said he immediately turned his head toward the area of the Texas School Book Depository building, and around the fifth or sixth floor he observed what appeared to be a rifle being withdrawn from a window. He said by this time the car was approximately in front of the window in question, but he could not observe any figure behind same.
